    It’s better than most US cities I’ve been to. Definitely better than New York.

    All I know is that Liverpool sucks according to a little known singer named John Lennon. I doubt you've heard of him.

    London is better despite having a higher murder rate? Did you read the article? If you are willing to accept that many murders you must live in a savage, violent place too.

    I fully admit that I could be biased and I've only spent hours at a time in the actual City, but fuck that shit. Spent 2.5h stuck in the Tube sweating my ass off on a broke down Jubilee Line train and missed my chance at the Tate Modern, not that there was likely to be anything decent there, I've spent spent weeks cumulative at the Met and MoMA, can't really beat that.

    London City Airport and Victoria Cross are decent transportation hubs but otherwise fuck that shit. Give me NYC or even Toronto over London.

    One month's activity isn't a trend.

    NY isn't the hell hole you think it is.

    London is wonderful.

    Oh, and I'm coming for your guns.

    So if London is a shithole based on the murder rate over the last two months, what exactly has New York been for every month in modern history before February? :chris:

    Also, funny thing about murder rates... compared to other American cities, New York is far from #1. :async:

    Yeah. NYC isn't exactly the city you want to single out if you're against gun control.

    London is great. New York is terrible. Detroit is worse than both combined with Kinshasa.

    Visiting London has long been a dream of mine. According to El Chup its the best city in the world if you want to visit bookstores. I dream of finding an obscure used book with an equally obscure and almost unknown reference in it and becoming another Roy Moxham.

    The whole Florida school shooting thing has made steve think he's some sort of badass when, in reality, he's just some really old pathetic motherfucker living in Georgia.

    If I was stuck living there I'd probably be pretty pissed, too. :lol:

    The one month bump is down mainly to knife crime among youth gangs.

    Here's the thing. We'll have a discussion about it and do something about it. We won't send "thoughts and prayers", we won't advocate more knives to combat knives, we won't bury our heads in the sand and deny the problem and we won't squeal about our civil right to own a knife. We'll be proactive and try and do something.
